Operation School Bell®

Our Signature Program

 

Assistance League charitable programs rely on hands-on involvement by our volunteers. Each innovative program is designed to meet specific needs of our communities.

Assistance League member volunteers have improved lives and helped make our communities better.

Ready for Pick-Up!

Operation School Bell is continuing to provide clothing, school supplies, grooming kits and books to children in need, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Our school and community partners provide us with the children’s sizes and the orders are prepared for contactless pick up.

Can you imagine never having a new pair of shoes? Only attending school half of the time as you must share your clothes with a sibling? Or an entire family sharing one toothbrush? This is the reality for many of the children we serve. Operation School Bell is the signature philanthropic program of Assistance League across the United States.  The program provides new school uniforms and clothing to children identified as “in need” by their schools. Each child is individually fitted by chapter members and provided with: 4 shirts, 2 pants, 6 pair socks, 6 underwear, shoes, sweatshirt, jacket, toiletries, backpack, school supplies, and age appropriate book.

Currently we serve students in grades K-8 from the Arcadia, Alhambra, Monrovia, Duarte, San Gabriel, Temple City and Rosemead school districts as well as students of the Almansor Center (a community based education and training facility for at-risk youth).  Operation School Bell has assisted more than 30,000 children in need with clothes and school supplies since 1970 and clothed over 1,000 this past year.

We also provide bathing suits, clothing, and necessities to children attending summer camp on scholarship.
